Internet Marketing should be the basis for every company in this day and age. If you are not doing Internet Marketing, strategically, guess what?! You don’t exists!!

FACT is, 95% of businesses started online are doomed to fail. The root of most mistakes you’ll make in business, you must overcome these common roadblocks to be ahead of the game with fewer headaches and disappointments.

Business is not a get rich scheme or a push button method to get rich fast. Strategic planning is the only way to a successful business and the action to play its part in “vision”.
A lot of entrepreneurs go around thinking that “access to information is what separates the winners from the losers” and that “the smartest person in the room should be the most successful.”

So, Now, having the right information and knowing how to work hard are important. But they are only tools. The only deciding factors when it comes to business success are often easily overlooked. Yet these elements are absolutely vital.

Carla’s take on Public Relations — Ethics

Carla B is a seasoned leader in Public Relations and Media

 

I absolutely love these types of show whereas we can empower minds with food for thought! These shows are dedicated to the elite group of professionals that take the time to hone in on they’re craft. The central purpose of my portion of the show will be to provide an overview of ethics in public relations.

Every Public Relations organization has a code of ethics which the members are expected to abide. The primary objective of this code of ethics is to form guidelines to educate members on how they should conduct themselves in their professional lives. Despite these guidelines, ethics in individual practice is deeply troubling for PR professionals and consistent violation has been a matter of debate for years. Most critics have complained that the ethics ‘have no teeth’ and one cynic as quoted by PR Sourcewatch says, “real ethical behavior is expensive, and that’s where the PR industry’s ethical dilemma
originates. All of the major public relations firms routinely engage in unethical practices and they don’t do it because they are evil people. They do it because their wealthy clients have problems, and cleaning up their image is often easier and cheaper than cleaning up their mess’.

In this section I will also discuss how having a strong sense of ethics and of how to arrive at ethical decisions can enhance the career prospects of public relations professionals. Hope you can make it! Check out my Public Relations and Blog Site for more info on me. www.eotmmediagroup.com

The lowest common demoninator for online streams is talk radio and music. EOTM Radio’s content is a plethora of talk/music radio shows focusing on a wide variety of cultural views and  an abundance of songs that does not necessarily resemble each other, which creates a more positive listening experience that keeps listeners coming back.

Compare Advertising on your Local Radio Station to Internet Radio Advertising on EOTM

• First off let’s break down what’s really good audio content.

1. Good audio content is anything that keeps listeners through the next minute, simply put.

What’s important in your community —

When responding to community needs, the relationship that’s built with a local radio station and it’s audience has always been solid..or at least for the most part. The argument though is that programs airing on local stations have diminished amounts of local content. Few stations, particularly mainstream are responding to community needs.

We Global…so we Local…

What internet radio was founded under —

On the internet side of this fence, there are few online radio stations that can claim to have a “program” of any sense – community or interest-oriented, EOTM is the exception. The lowest common demoninator for online streams is talk radio and music. EOTM Radio’s content is a plethora of talk/music radio shows focusing on a wide variety of cultural views and  an abundance of songs that does not necessarily resemble each other, which creates a more positive listening experience that keeps listeners coming back.

Media consumption has changed to where the 35 and below crowd chooses how it spends time not by program or radio personality, but by CONTENT.

Production quality demands are no longer high. Popularity is measured by the number of persons who have listened to the content, which can be tracked online with reasonable accuracy. When the “content” that interests them is gone, listeners will not stick around to hear the rest of the “program.”

With EOTM Radio we poll internet radio listeners as well as local and national mainstream broadcasts to discover what they would like to hear and discuss which creates somewhat of a bandwagon campaign good enough to capture the word of mouth which required to take it viral.

As I stated at the top of the blog, “good audio content is anything that keeps listenership through the next minute”. Want more of it?

EOTM helping to coin the phrase…”Word of Mouse”

The holy grail of marketing…

 

 

Strategic Brand Management

 

Marketing via social networking is no longer just a successful novelty; it is a powerful tool that is changing the way the world communicates.

Social media allows users to expand their networks, advertise their company and/or skills, as well as receive recommendations and referrals from current and former clients. This works because social networking sites aggregate web surfers who share common passions and views, resulting in a tight, reliable group of friends or colleagues who are connected by virtual means. Consequently, when a blogger or member from such groups makes positive comments on your company or endorses your statements, this generates “word of mouse” promotion for your business.

By building relationships in relevant, appropriate communities,marketers can attract more prospective customers, which will ultimately lead to more profits.

EOTM uses these same social media practice effectively each day to reach“taste makers” and “influencers” where they live, work and play.

Every member of the EOTM team is an active member of the social media community, using the various online channels to reach out, respond, generate conversations, and tell a compelling story in the rapidly changing digital world. The result is extraordinary success in stimulating influencer conversations and generating credible, value-added coverage among targeted consumers, bloggers, online enthusiasts and more.

Just like word of mouth, word of mouse is built on a solid reputation, and carefully maintained. EOTM actively works to implement strategic branding and marketing campaigns for their clients,so that their targeted market of consumers visualize that particular business when they need something, whether it’s a new pair of jeans, music or a cup of coffee.

Atlanta Chef stirs up some finger lickin good excitement

Chef Lamar

By: Rahn Anthoni (EOTM Atlanta)

I had a chance to speak with this gifted chef that knows how to use what God has gifted him to do.

Lamar Carter was born in Fort Hood, TX, raised in Hayward; CA. Lamar was “bitten” by the culinary bug at the young age of 9. Lamar used to do “cooking shows” in the kitchen whenever his mother allowed him to prepare something. He was introduced to international cuisine when he joined the US Navy.  Lamar had the opportunity to travel the world (while stationed in Japan). Chef Lamar LOVES ALL FOOD… very few things that he wouldn’t eat and NOTHING that he cannot prepare to his clients liking.

Lamar has been in Atlanta for a little over 2 years, where he continues to grow his Star Chef Gourmet personal chef/intimate occasions catering business. Lamar has performed star parties for interested clients, where a menu is selected and the client and their guests get an up close and personal cooking lesson (good wine, EXCELLENT food and company… what more could you ask for?).

No budget is too small as EVERY CLIENT is treated like a celebrity! Lamar’s top client was Bishop TD Jakes.

I had the opportunity to have Lamar over to cook and it was as if I was sitting in an up scaled restaurant in Hollywood. I suggest that you give Lamar a call and get a chance to enjoy his reasonable prices along with the elegance of his food.  Contact Chef Lamar at 404-645-6389 to set up a time to have him to cook for your event, personal or whatever you would like him for. The food is awesome and at a good rate.

Marketing 101 – Get it in like a Rapper!!

By: EOTM Staff

 

Lil Wayne

 

Did you know that the music industry is known for using a variety of guerrilla marketing methods before anyone else.  For instance, rappers were one of the original groups to use MySpace as a promotional tool.

I thought it would be helpful to look at some of the techniques rappers are using to promote their music, since they are considered to be on the more aggressive and cutting edge side of the music industry.

Here are some marketing tips that successful Rap Stars have used.

 

 

Rappers teaching Corporate game

 

1) Repetition is good. Most marketing experts and studies will tell you that people need to hear your advertising message at least 4-6 times before they remember it.  Mike Jones, a rapper from Houston, may not have a marketing degree or an MBA, but he acts like he does. In his first album on a major label, all of his songs contained his name, in a catchy jingle “Who???  Mike Jones!” that he used in the background of a number of his songs.  This is really important because when his music was played in clubs or on the radio, you were more likely to remember who the song was by, and more likely to buy the album.  How many times have you heard a catchy song on the radio and went to buy it but had no idea how to find it?  Mike Jones solved that problem by just making the repetition of his name part of the song.  Note:  Rap stars have been putting their name into their songs for decades, but Mike Jones was the first one I know of to take it this far – in his hit song “Back Then”, his name is mentioned 5 times, and in the song “Flossin'” his name appears 15 times! So, the takeaway is that you should figure out what marketing message you want people to remember, and repeat it for them.

2) Embrace user generated content. Many companies are concerned about their trademarks and protection of intellectual property and tend to create “walled gardens” of content preventing users from adapting content to suit their own needs and add value to it.  Musicians’ incomes are tied to sales of their music, and as we all know since the advent of peer to peer file sharing and the mp3 file format, record labels and musicians have generally been trying to copy protect their music and maintain an increased level of control over the distribution of it.

But one rapper has been bucking this trend.  Jay-Z always releases an “acapella” version of his albums, which is just his voice without any background music or beat at all.  The main purpose of these albums is to enable DJs and dedicated fans to remix Jay-Z’s lyrics with other beats and songs.  In fact, Jay-Z’s previous album “The Black Album” was remixed into two other complete albums by separate DJs.  DJ Dangermouse remixed it with the Beatles’ “White Album” to form the “Grey Album” and DJ Cheap Cologne remexed it with Metallica’s “Black Album” to form the “Double Black” album.  While rap music is frequently remixed into other songs, this was really the first large scale example of an entire album being remixed by two different DJs to form two other completely new albums.  While Jay-Z didn’t earn any royalties from the sales of these other albums and the remixed albums themselves were only sold online and in a somewhat underground fashion, the other albums certainly helped propel sales of his own music and created more buzz around both him and the “Black Album” since there were lots of people playing the remixed versions in clubs and people discussing them online. Because of both his talent and also because he has embraced user generated content, Jay-Z is widely acclaimed to be not only one of the best rappers of all time, but also one of the most financially successful (his net worth is estimated at $340 million).

3) Have a specific call to action. One other interesting marketing strategy Mike Jones used was putting his personal cell phone in a couple of his songs, and not in a hidden or obscure way, but actually in the main part of the song and repeated numerous times so everyone remembered “281-330-8004”.  Before long, he was getting hundreds, then thousands of calls per day.  And he would actually personally answer a bunch of them. (The number is now inactive, in case you are trying to call it, lol)  While the huge number of calls was probably a bit annoying, it definitely helped Mike Jones differentiate himself, and I think for the thousands of people he actually talked to for 30 seconds or so, they were very likely to buy his album and talk to their friends about it.  I have seen too many advertisements and especially websites and emails where it is not clear what action you are trying to get people to take next.  It might be to complete a contact form, or call your company, but whatever it is, make sure your prospects know what the next step is that you want them to take.

4) Use lot of partnerships. Many businesses only use partnerships in a limited fashion, and only if they are very structured and set up to be in place for a long time period.  Similarly, in the music industry most rock bands typically play their own music and rarely work with other bands.  Not so in rap music.  Rappers and hip-hop artists very frequently collaborate with each other and produce songs on each other albums “featuring” someone else.  In fact, it is almost a formula to have a song on a famous rappers album featuring an unknown rapper, or vice versa.  One very famous example of this was when Dr. Dre basically launched Snoop Dogg’s career by featuring Snoop Dogg on a couple songs on Dr. Dre’s album “The Chronic”.  People who loved Dr. Dre for years got a chance to hear someone new, and liked him.  Snoop Dogg’s next album “Doggystyle” was a huge success, selling over 800,000 copies in the first week and over 6 million copies through the end of 2006.

The world of marketing is currently changing, I say use the techniques that have worked for others and make them work for you.

Corporate dudes taking notes from rappers?! I say it would be a good day for those who do.
